Duplicating an Approved Course and Creating a Recorded Course from an Approved Live Course

All sponsors may duplicate and receive automatic approval for another occurrence of an approved course if it is to be presented no later than 12 months from the original presentation date. Sponsors may also duplicate approved live courses to create recorded versions. The duplicate must be submitted at least one day before the presentation, if live, and the content and faculty must be identical to the original course. Duplicate activities do not have an application fee.

For sponsors of courses for lawyers: Create a duplicate course on the MCLE system, for each subsequent presentation.

For sponsors of courses for LPOs and LLLTs: Email the MCLE Team the original activity ID to be duplicated.
